Cena Replaces Stallone on Newly Titled “Project X” with Jackie Chan

It looks like Scott Waugh‘s action film with Jackie Chan has both a new title and a new co-star.

In an interview conducted with Waugh for his 2017 biopic 6 Below: Miracle on the Mountain, Waugh confirmed that Chan’s original co-star for what was to be called Ex-Baghdad, Sylvester Stallone was no longer involved in the film and a new co-star would be sought.

Ladies and gentlemen, a new co-star has been found in the form of WWE superstar and actor John Cena. Cena will replace Stallone as an ex-Marine who will team up with Chan, who is a Chinese private security contractor who is called in to extract oil workers from a China-run oil refinery in the Middle East after it is attacked.

On top of that, the film has a new title in the form of Project X. Waugh will still be directing with Chan producing alongside Joe Tam, Esmond Ren and Hans Canosa. Arash Amel wrote the screenplay.
